Here’s the link for the ActBlue @charlesgaba created; all donations go to #Dems running for the #NewJersey legislature. An easy way to #GOTV by directly supporting candidates. #VoteBlue #Vote https://secure.actblue.com/donate/njblue23

#NewJersey resident here. @charlesgaba is 💯 correct — NJ is more purple than blue & in the midterms only a paltry 30% of eligible voters voted! This year our entire legislature is up for grabs.

Many of the districts are eminently flippable, “with a little help from our friends.” 🎶 Please boost and if you can, donate! If you’re in NJ, pick a candidate & help them #GOTV — and #VoteBlue! #Vote 💙💙💙

Scenes from a bike ride in the southern portion of the New Jersey Pine Barrens. Pictured includes a gas facility just burning off the gas, two mysterious bike riders, the Tuckahoe train station and a photo of me on one of the gravel roads. #biketooter #newjersey #PineBarrens (2/2)

Timeline cleanse: twilight sky in South Jersey tonight. #sky #NewJersey

@hypnobeard Taking an impromptu day off and walking the boards in Ocean City, #NewJersey with these slackers (my hub and son). #joy

@liroyleshed My last brick-and-mortar job in corporate was in 2007. Then I went #freelance because infant daycare costs for my late-in-life singleton were beyond ludicrous. Haven’t looked back since: I #AmEditing from the comfort of my home office and still serve as summer mom chauffeur service for my now-16yo (who has a driving permit but not a license cuz #NewJersey).

No office politics. No hour(s)-long commute. Win-win. #freelancing #editing

Exhibit B. Just what #NewJersey needs, nervous Dems parroting #M4L talking points about #publiceducation. #schools #NJLeg #gender #equity https://newjerseymonitor.com/2023/08/04/top-democrats-rebuke-n-j-school-board-over-equity-rules/

So y’all know I live in #NewJersey and am basically team #VoteBlue forever. But FFS the Dem leadership in the NJ legislature (Scutari, Coughlin et al) are getting on my last nerve, putting out asinine policy positions that play right into R hands because they’re nervous about this November’s off-year elections. Exhibit A below. #offshorewind #NJLeg https://www.njspotlightnews.org/2023/08/nj-democratic-leaders-express-concerns-about-offshore-wind-costs-and-impacts/

Ancient but still-working tech observed in the South Jersey burbs (outside a Wawa, to be precise). #NewJersey

@lovelylovely @DemocracySpot 💯 I’m going to be #GOTV-ing my arse off for #Biden and the rest of the Dems in 2024. (But first are #NewJersey’s annoyingly off-year elections, and keeping the loons off my local school board.) #VoteBlue

@karawynn Thanks for writing about this — a real eye-opener. I just went to my local public #library website, and found 4 options in addition to OverDrive/Libby: Hoopla, which you mentioned was another for-profit entity; and these:

— Project Gutenberg
— Tumble Books
— Axis360, The #NewJersey State Library’s ebook platform accessible to all NJ #libraries.

Would it be worth showing your article to library admin and suggest looking into Lyrasis’ Palace?

40 years ago today: The trail just across the New York state line was a bitch. We finally arrived at the steep side trail which leads down off Bellvale Mountain to Roger’s Appalachian Cottage. Just below the Appalachian Trail, an old round tabletop leaning against a tree proclaimed a small clearing “The Oasis.”

40 years ago today: The first few miles were mostly through Wawayanda State Park. Like those I passed yesterday, all the streams along the trail today were dry. Ironically, my guidebook informs me that Wawayanda is a Lenape Indian word meaning “water on the mountain.” Not this summer.
